Ben, you obviously think Canada is just this side of heaven--and that's perfectly okay. Love of country is a healthy thing.
But, Ben, the fact remains that most people around the world hardly share your enthusiasm for all things Canadian. In fact, I'd bet you a dollar (U.S. please) that if they know anything about your country at all it's that Canada is the cold place inhabited by people who are so strikingly like Americans it is hard to tell them apart.
